EEG SPATIAL DECODING WITH SHRINKAGE OPTIMIZED DIRECTED INFORMATION ASSESSMENT
This paper proposes an approach to infer neural interactions from EEG data using a James-Stein estimator of directed information called shrinkage optimized directed information assessment (SODA). SODA uses shrinkage regularization on empirical histograms to deal with the high dimensionality of multi-channel EEG signals and the small sizes of many real-world datasets. It is designed to make few a priori assumptions, and can handle both non-linear and non-Gaussian flows across electrode sites. The use of James-Stein shrinkage allows the SODA algorithm to achieve higher sensitivity to directed neural interactions for a given specificity. We augment this through a central limit theorem-based approach that can assess the statistical significance of each discovered interaction. When evaluated on brain computer interface EE
